Know your zone. Choose plants that thrive.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the national standard for understanding which plants can survive winter temperatures in your region. Use your zone as a starting point when selecting trees, shrubs, perennials, and evergreens.

In Southeast Michigan, most gardens fall within Zones 5b–6a. Hardiness zones reflect winter cold tolerance, but factors like sun exposure, soil conditions, and watering also play a major role in plant success.

Bring your zone number in when you shop, and we’ll help you choose the right plants for your landscape.
